About

Summer School for 15 - 17 Year Olds

28 July - 8 August 2025

Nottingham Trent University - City Campus

Practical courses for the artists, designers and writers of the future who wish to develop a competitive portfolio and experience university life.

We take pride in our quality teaching, student support services, and commitment to sustainability - all of which have won several awards. Our dedication to these areas shines through in all of our courses and has helped to make NTU one of the most popular universities in the UK.

Our programme is delivered by experts who understand what university admissions tutors are looking for.

As a summer school student, you'll have the chance to ask questions, experience university life and ultimately make an informed decision about your future.

Our summer school is popular with people from all corners of the UK, across Europe and throughout the world. We'll provide you with ideas of things to do in the evenings, and the freedom to explore them at your own pace.

If you’d like to stay on campus during your summer school, we offer single rooms in shared apartments in our halls of residence, just a minute’s walk to the summer school studios and all of Nottingham's attractions. This also counts towards your Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Gold Residential award.

Each week we offer two social events which are free to attend. Last year this included 10-pin bowling and entry to a games cafe. These are optional to attend and a great way to make new friends on your course. The social events are compulsary for DofE Participants.
